Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by Nnenna1(f): 5:46pm On Feb 13, 2009 |
It's the new series with Anna Torv and Johsua Jackson (The guy from dawson's creek). It's sort of like the x-files. Basically, Anna Torv is FBI agent Olivia Dunham, who tries to solves classified strange cases dealing with fringe science, amid the "pattern" and an impending apocalypse. She's assisted by a mad scientist Walter Bishop and his 190IQ criminal son. I lurve it. I especially like trying to catch "the observer" and how everything seems to link with Massive Dynamic. There're so many hidden symbols here it's not even funny. No one around me watches it so I place it online. Anyone seen this week's episode? What do you make of Walter writing the apocalyptic book? I'm rewatching some episodes on hulu.com because I feel like something went over my head. |

My sister I dey watch am religiously that was a nice nut-shell description of the show, Joshua is perfect with his sarcasm and wit and Anna Torv is simply fantastic. "Broyles & Charlie" are also nice supporting cast characters. I live in Boston and its so cool to see areas I know and have been to popping up on the show Nnenna1:Mehn it was a nice twist but not too suprising I guess. I think it'll end up being Bell that wrote it, it'll add up since he went on to found Massive Dynamic. I loved the x-files but I hope they don't make this an 'aliens vs humans' thing. I'm a lil nervous about the direction they're going with making Olivia "special" with the whole ability thing . . . but it should be fun if they can keep the writing creative. |

JeSoul: I know, the alien vs human implication makes me nervous too, and the bit with Olivia and the shining lights sort of takes me back to the matrix, terminator 3 and "the one" syndrome. Let's hope it doesn't go there, I think the writers know better than that, lol, next thing we know, we'll be thrown another curve ball. Didn't think of Bell writing the book. it's a BIG possbility, seeing that Bell and Walter were acquaintances long before Massive Dynamic. I don't know why, but I also think there's more to Astrid as well. Don't you just love when Walter seemingly ponders about something important only for you to find that he wants ice-cream or candy? lol. Is the series a big deal in Boston, by the way? |
Re: Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by spikedcylinder: 6:07pm On Feb 14, 2009 |
I caught a few scenes from one episode the other day. Its good then? |
Re: Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by Nnenna1(f): 8:17pm On Feb 14, 2009 |
spikedcylinder: Yeah. The episodes are really inter-linked though. You'd have to start from the beginning to appreciate it. We're only 14 episodes in, so you could catch up by watching it online. Hulu has all of the episodes, I think. |
Re: Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by JeSoul(f): 8:32pm On Feb 14, 2009 |
Nnenna1:lol true and that's what I've loved about it so far, its been unpredictable and I like that. Didn't think of Bell writing the book. it's a BIG possbility, seeing that Bell and Walter were acquaintances long before Massive Dynamic. I don't know why, but I also think there's more to Astrid as well.Yeah I think it'd be too obvious if it ends up being Walter who wrote it . . . this myserious Bell that we never get to see self . I'm anticipating the look on Peter's face when he finds this out Don't you just love when Walter seemingly ponders about something important only for you to find that he wants ice-cream or candy? lol.LOL I absolutely do! and Peter's witty sarcastic remarks are just priceless during those times. Is the series a big deal in Boston, by the way?Not as far as I can tell actually. I think if the show continues to get good ratings as it is, it'll get bigger. Oh and another thing I like about it is the limited commercials . . . "Fringe will return in 60 seconds" lol and it really does |
Re: Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by JeSoul(f): 8:39pm On Feb 14, 2009 |
spikedcylinder:Oh yeah gurl. I've been watching since the first episode and its smart, witty and unpredictable. Fringe and 24 are the shows I follow religiously Nnenna1: Fox.com also has all the episodes on their website for free with practically no commercial interruption and the video quality is super. Connect ur pc to ur tv and it'll look fantastic. |
Re: Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by spikedcylinder: 10:06am On Feb 15, 2009 |
Its in the same league as 24? Thats a deflator. |
Re: Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by JeSoul(f): 9:26pm On Feb 15, 2009 |
You don't like 24? And no, Fringe is nuthin like 24. See the wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fringe_(TV_Series). Its centered around FBI agent Dunham who deals with strange and paranormal situations and cases. |
Re: Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by spikedcylinder: 6:55am On Feb 16, 2009 |
No, I don't like 24. Will check this Fringe though. . . |
Re: Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by JeSoul(f): 5:51pm On Feb 16, 2009 |
spikedcylinder: wow you have got to be the first person just outta curiosity why don't you like it? |
Re: Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by spikedcylinder: 10:02am On Feb 17, 2009 |
Oh well, just not my thing. can't stand all dem 24, Lost, Prison's Break etc. |
Re: Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by JeSoul(f): 3:35pm On Feb 17, 2009 |
spikedcylinder:lol . . . well different strokes for different folks |
Re: Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by spikedcylinder: 9:18am On Feb 18, 2009 |
Yep Yep. |
Re: Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by candylips(m): 10:52am On Feb 23, 2009 |
I watched a couple of episodes but i just couldn't sustain an interest. Its basically a boring copy of x-files |
Re: Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by seunallday: 5:10pm On Feb 23, 2009 |

Re: Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by iice(f): 3:56pm On Mar 09, 2009 |
I watch fringe and i have been waiting for 3 weeks for the thing to get back on . Walter Bishop is totally awesome!! |
Re: Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by JeSoul(f): 10:28pm On Mar 09, 2009 |
New episodes start in April . . . I believe they were making way for American Idol |
Re: Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by iice(f): 3:27pm On Mar 11, 2009 |
Bahhh I'll watch the whole thing again lol. So did you guys notice the observer in the episodes? |
Re: Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by JeSoul(f): 4:57pm On Mar 11, 2009 |
iice:who/what is that? |
Re: Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by iice(f): 5:04pm On Mar 11, 2009 |
The bald headed guy in the 5th or so episode. The one where the cylinder comes out of the ground. |
Re: Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by JeSoul(f): 5:40pm On Mar 11, 2009 |
iice:it's not ringing a bell. I did miss a few episodes earlier. He was only in 1 episode? |
Re: Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by iice(f): 2:45pm On Mar 12, 2009 |
No, you get to meet him on the 5th episode. He will be introduced to us. Thats the episode Peter was abducted. Anyways like i said, we meet him in that episode but he's in all the episodes just you have to look for him in them I didn't know, it was dinozzo who told me |
Re: Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by JeSoul(f): 4:41pm On Mar 12, 2009 |
iice:I missed that episode . . . wow really? see Fringe experts I'll keep my eyes open when I go back to watch it. |
Re: Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by iice(f): 7:11am On Mar 14, 2009 |
Na wah. How do you do it? I mean missing some episodes and continuing? If it's a show i like, i can't skip any episode ooo. The interesting thing about this show for me is Walter's mind. |
Re: Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by dinozzo(m): 6:57pm On Mar 14, 2009 |
Fringe has been on a mini-hiatus for a while now, I think its the show with the most amount of breaks . I like it though i still think it can get better @iice did u notice the observer in the last episode he was in the plane, I think i saw him and whats with Olivia having special abilities |
Re: Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by iice(f): 9:58am On Mar 15, 2009 |
dinozzo: Totally agree esp. with the bold part. Gah you know am not sure it was him i saw, i'm planning to watch the whole thing all over again. Ahahahahaha, off telekinesis. Am not surprised though, after all the weird things going on in that division, its only natural that someone will start exhibiting powers and Liv is the ideal candidate. |
Re: Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by dinozzo(m): 5:38pm On Mar 16, 2009 |
its at the newstand he was shown when that guy was sealing up at the beginning of the episode, don't think there was any plane scene in the last episode must have been in the one before |
Re: Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by iice(f): 7:35pm On Apr 25, 2009 |
JS!!! You watching again? |
Re: Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by JeSoul(f): 4:01pm On Apr 28, 2009 |
Yessur iice I'm def watching. The last couple episodes were solid . . . i liked "Inner Child" a lot, didn't fancy "Unleashed" that much. And thot last week's "Bad Dreams" added a nice twist to the plot . . . Olivia finding her fellow experimented child partner and ending with Walter finding and watching a tape of olivia as a child and its his voice doing the testing - all very nice twists. however I absolutely hated the shameless injection of the stripclub scene where she kisses the stripper and then the following 'sex' one of the biggest selling points for me when it comes to Fringe is the absence of sex and all that nonsense prevalent on other shows. I hope they don't go there again |
Re: Abeg Who Watches Fringe? by iice(f): 3:51pm On Apr 29, 2009 |
For a moment i thought Charlie would get axed. . . Walter drives me crazy Doesnt Walter have a hand in those experiments? That man, he has many secrets Ehehehehehe, i thought the part Olivia was under hypnosis was hilarious, Astrid was like 'Oh!, then Peter. . .Walter was clueless at first hehehehe |
